--- Comment #11 from i...@digisim.org 2010-01-06 17:56:40 --- @8disk, all those people which have trouble with the HP Compaq 615 and the developers of hp_wmi, the HP laptop WMI hotkeys driver. Excluding ssb from the initrd seems to be a neccessary prerequisite to let the HP Compaq 615 boot with the linux kernel 2.6.3[23]. But one should not forget to exclude hp_wmi (the HP laptop WMI hotkeys driver), too. The latter one puts the HP Compaq 615 into big trouble with all recent 2.6.33 kernels, Everybody can easily reproduce this by modprobing the hp_wmi driver after a (hopefully) successfull boot. One can exclude all baleful modules e.g. ssb, hp_wmi, wmi by blacklisting those modules e.g. in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf on a Debian system. Of course one has to update an existing initrd after the mentioned modification of your blacklist.conf. But even when doing so, boot satisfaction isn't guaranteed at any boot. Thus, there seems to be a different initialisation at different boot times. But why? Since the hp_wmi is a driver which was born for HP Compaq laptops, all kernel developers should notice that this driver dosn't work at all with recent 2.6.33 kernels, e.g. the 2.6.33-rc3. Best, iX PS: One can find my .config and blacklist.conf above. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
